      <image:caption>“When young children are exposed to music, their brains change. Among other benefits, music can: Improve moods and empower young children by reducing stress levels. Even listening to sad music can be good thanks to its cathartic power, making it easier for children to get in touch with their emotions. Stimulate the formation of brain chemicals such as dopamine and oxytocin. When these are released, children are encouraged to share toys, empathize and trust others. Boost concentration skills and productivity. Improve learning and grades. Develop spatial intelligence – laying the ground for an interest in mathematics, engineering, computer science and architecture. Improve vocabulary and creativity.” — UNICEF</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 6 Tips for Resting as a New Parent - 01. PLAN AHEAD</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you are breastfeeding, consider pumping or hand expressing some milk once nursing has been established. Then, someone can give the baby a bottle and you can tuck in for a four hour stretch of sleep! Typically a four hour stretch of sleep will be enough to reset your system and make you feel brand new.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 6 Tips for Resting as a New Parent - 03. ASK FOR HELP</image:title>
      <image:caption>Do not be afraid to have a day where all you do is feed your baby and then hand them off to your partner, family member or doula () to have them burped/changed/rocked back to sleep. This can help you catch a few extra hours throughout the day.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I also love suggesting that during your last trimester you practice closing your eyes for 10-20 minutes at a time throughout the day. Napping during the daytime takes PRACTICE! It doesn’t always come naturally but it is a skill that can be learned!</image:caption>
